NAME
XmStringTableProposeTablist — A convenience function that returns a tab
list
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmTabList XmStringTableProposeTablist(
XmStringTable strings,
Cardinal num_strings,
Widget widget,
float pad_value,
XmOffsetModel offset_model);
DESCRIPTION
XmStringTableProposeTablist takes an XmStringTable structure containing
tabbed compound strings, information on padding between columns, and
rendering information and returns a tab list that, if used to render
the strings in the table, would cause the strings to line up in columns
with no overlap and with the specified amount of padding between the
widest item in each column and the start of the next column. Each tab
in the tablist would have the same unit type as units, an offset model
of offset_model, and an alignment type of XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING.
strings Specifies an array of compound strings.
num_strings
Specifies the number of compound strings in strings.
widget Specifies the widget used for deriving any necessary
information for creating the rendition. In particular, the
XmNunitType of widget will be used to specify the unit type
to be used in determining the amount of padding separating
columns and for the tabs in the proposed tab list. Also,
widget’s render table will be used in interpreting rendition
tags within the strings.
pad_value Specifies the value of the amount of padding to be used to
separate columns. The units for this parameter are specified
as the XmNunitType set for the widget parameter. Refer to
the XmNunitType resource of the XmGadget, XmManager, or
XmPrimitive reference page.
offset_model
Specifies the offset model to be used in creating the tabs.
Can be XmABSOLUTE or XmRELATIVE.
RETURN
Returns a new XmTabList. The function allocates space to hold the
returned tab list. The application is responsible for managing the
allocated space. The application can recover the allocated space by
calling XmTabListFree.
